Questions from Newland
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Newland included. Travel is included in the price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Bath repair in Newland, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newland use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Newland
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Common problems we fix in Newland
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

- Whether a trained technician does the job

What else we do in Newland
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
If you’re in Newland and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
